Abstract
Joseph Dane continues his sceptical evaluation of the philosophical nature of ‘facts’ and ‘evidence’ that he previously discussed in detail in The Myth of Print Culture (Toronto: University of Toronto Press, 2003) and Abstractions of Evidence (Farnham: Ashgate, 2009). Criticizing David Bradshaw's assertion that facts tell their own story, without the need for rigorous and detailed interpretation, Dane here offers an exposition of so-called bibliographical ‘grand narratives’, or models of thinking about bibliography that, Dane argues, obscure what the actual evidence might tell us. Sometimes, as Dane shows, the comparison between repeated grand narratives and looking hard at the evidence can produce some startling differences. Such post-structuralist viewpoints are often criticised for maligning what we have come to accept as a given; yet such studies can and will serve as important reminders to bibliographers and book historians alike that evidence should be prioritized over predefined assumptions of critical interpretation. The trick, perhaps, is to report these new readings in ways that are meaningful and incontrovertible.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
